It's been a while since I posted here, but the boys are doing fantastic.  Shadow is now a 12 lbs snuggle bug, but ONLY with me. He comes in every night when I go to bed, and every morning to snuggle, and cries at me if I don't start holding/petting him fast enough. Terrin is also doing well, and...

Quick update... after some soul searching and discussion with the trainer who works with the feral TnR program we've been taking the cats to, we made the decision to have Bast fixed, and release her back to her family... She seems much happier with this decision. The night we dropped her off to...

Unfortunately IN the cage they don't. Shadow just tries to tear it up, and constantly harasses Bast. But she seems to like her stuffed puppy, and we also got her one of the long rectangle scratching boards, she already had several toys on cords so she has toys.

My husband and I are buying a house from a friend, and one of our new neighbors by the new house we're buying is VERY pro TnR (Trap n Release) and has personally helped over 55 feral cats. Well she lent us 2 traps and a carrier (the carrier for Bast, we already had one from Conga for Shadow) so...

My husband had the brilliant idea of giving Bast a very soft stuffed dog that's slightly bigger than her to snuggle and she loves it! She was much happier last night and without Bast, Shadow has started sleeping on our bed at night. Bast is still not happy, but she's less unhappy.

the cover I made covers the entire cage when fully on. It's actually two sections so I can use one or both. She seems perfectly content If I have it so 1/4 of the cage (aka one corner) is covered for her "hidey"... if she gets a little upset, I put one cover on fully which covers up 2/3 of the...

Bast is mostly mad at me right now. Moving the cage doesn't seem to freak her out, but that might be due to the fact that she's pretty much had free roaming of the apartment for the past month and half. So she knows the whole house. She doesn't like it, but she doesn't even move out of her...

She's definitely not happy, because the cage is such a nice size I can keep most of it uncovered, and still have a full corner where she has her "hidey"...She hasn't eaten much, but she has used her litter box, and she ate the treats I gave her. I'm keeping her in whatever room I'm in so she's...

Just a quick update: Bast is in the cage!!   It took me 4 hours and a ridiculous amount of "well this isn't working". lol. I tried bribery (meat from a roasted chicken - which her brother happily ate), treats, and just plain "let her explore"... I finally got her, mostly by accident. I...

One of the sites I'd found that gives advice for helping feral kittens to adjust was to keep the television on, in the room they're in. It said that the voices would help the kittens to get used to people talking, arguing etc (I keep on one of the channels that shows several of the old 80's TV...

This is Jeckle, the kittens mama... she and her twin Heckle (yes, I named them Heckle and Jeckle after the cartoon crows, lol) are both black and gorgeous) every time I open the door she looks for the kittens. We're hoping to get her caught this week, to be spayed and released. We know Bast may...

Thank you for all the wonderful advice. We went out today and bought one of the large cages which we're going to separate into two levels for Bast. Hopefully going back to step 1 will help her adjust better, and she'll have enough room for us to put her brother in with her for some social time...
